Chapter 636: Xiao Yue Takes the Fall
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Madam Liu led a search party to Ye Nanshen’s quarter, while Rong Qi and Ye Nanshen waited in the yard. Mrs. Ye Sr., frequently glancing at them, found their calm demeanor suspicious, wondering if they already knew something.
However, Madam Liu dismissed the thought, believing it impossible for anyone to foresee such events.
Soon, Madam Liu returned triumphantly, holding a wooden box. “We found it! A suspicious wooden box and a sneaky servant. We brought them both!”
Meng Fu, holding the box aloft, presented it to Crescent.
Before even opening it, Crescent recoiled, his eyes widening, “This is it! I felt a strong negative energy as soon as it was brought near!”
“Master Crescent, so this box is related to the recent strange occurrences?” Mrs. Ye Sr. asked.
“Exactly!”
At that moment, the sky darkened with a swarm of crows, more numerous than before. Crescent seized the opportunity to shout, “Look, the evil spirit is here!”
Everyone was terrified, huddling together.
“What should we do, Master Crescent?” Mrs. Ye Sr. asked, anxious and alarmed.
!!..
Crescent, after a moment of divining, exclaimed, “It’s not an accident, Mrs. Ye Sr., but a deliberate act!”
“Someone wants to harm me, harm the Ye family?” Mrs. Ye Sr. asked.
Master Crescent nodded solemnly.
Furious, Mrs. Ye Sr. slammed the table, “Find out who it is, and they shall not be spared!”
Meng Fu then dragged Xiao Yue forward, “This is the suspicious person we found.”
Mrs. Ye Sr. scrutinized Xiao Yue.
Meng Fu continued, “We found her sneaking towards Master Shen and Madam Qi’s quarter as if looking for something. When caught, she denied everything, but we found this wooden box under their bed. Xiao Yue is known to be Ye Nanshen’s maid!”
Rong Qi and Ye Nanshen exchanged confused looks.
Ye Nanshen soothed Rong Qi, “Just a passing fancy. Don’t be jealous.”
Meanwhile, Xiao Yue trembled in fear, “I didn’t do anything. I was just following orders. It’s not my fault!”
Mrs. Ye Sr. and Madam Liu seized on this, “Whose orders? Who told you to take the box?”
Under pressure, Xiao Yue glanced fearfully at Rong Qi and shook her head, “No one told me.”
Xiao Yue’s glance was a dead giveaway, directing suspicion toward Rong Qi.
“Tell me the truth!” Mrs. Ye Sr. shouted. “Otherwise, I won’t forgive you! In the Ye family, I still have the right to punish a servant!”
Frightened, Xiao Yue blurted out, “It was Rong Qi! She told me to find and secretly dispose of a wooden box under the bed! Please, I’m innocent, spare me!”
